Finally, in his speech, Mr.Antonopoulos Regional Manager of EFG Eurobank’s Network, noted that, “our Bank is implementing its sponsorship programme “The great moment for Education ”, which is now in its third successful year. Responding to the challenges of the new era it has chosen to encourage our youth to focus on learning and progress by introducing a new institution.
